What does it take to build a million-dollar brand from scratch? Dreamer James Hill, Founder of Black Millionaires, built a 7-figure company from the ground up.

In this episode, he spills his secrets on how to do it.

Growing up in Detroit with no example of success around him, James became the first person in his family to go to college. After college, he worked in banking and was on track to retire at 67 from his corporate career until he was exposed to more.

After generating significant revenue for his company, James got the opportunity to travel on a private jet to watch an NBA game courtside. That’s what opened his eyes to what was possible. After that experience, James decided to become an entrepreneur. After a failed business and thousands of dollars of savings gone, he went back to the drawing board; he returned to his corporate job and started Black Millionaires shortly after.

Whether you're an aspiring/thriving entrepreneur or just ready to elevate your wealth, you don’t want to miss this episode.

In this episode, James Hill discusses:

  • How he built the 7-figure brand Black Millionaires
  • The Networking Law of 33
  • How he is building passive income streams
  • The millionaire mindset
  • Lessons learned from his first business as an adult
